American Pie alum Chris Klein was arrested on suspicion of DUI early Wednesday morning, TMZ.com reports.

He was "observed weaving" through lanes on the westbound Hollywood Freeway at 3:13 a.m., according to the site.

After the California Highway Patrol officer pulled him over, he failed a field sobriety test and was taken into custody.

His blood alcohol level was .20 -- nearly three times the legal limit in California, which is .08, the site reports.

He was booked and released on his own recognizance, according to the Associated Press.

In 2005, Klein, 31 -- who was once engaged to Katie Holmes -- was arrested and charged with two misdemeanor counts of DUI for having a blood-alcohol level at .20, exceeding California's .08 limit.

    I didn't realize there are so many gullible people here. Chris Klein and Katie Holmes broke up months before Katie and Tom met _ April 18, 2005 and Suri was born exactly a year later. Yeah, either Katie was pregnant with Suri for more than a year, LOL ... or Chris became Katie's invisible lover that the paparrazis' cameras could not notice but wasn't invisible enough to miss the cops'. Also, I wondered how Katie failed to get acknowledgment from the Guinness World Records for having the longest pregnancy in the history of the world. Also, Suri must be wearing blue contact lenses to avoid having Chris' brown eyes ... and probably had a surgery to match Tom's huge nose! LOL!

    @TJ My thoughts exactly!

    people on here are so stupid, yeah he's suri's dad.......what a bunch of idiots!!!

    He's a celebrity - with money - how hard is it to spend a little cash on a cab so that you do not put other lives in danger?! I make pennies compared to him and I will spend $50 on a cab any day so that I don't have this sort of issue!

    Thank goodness no one was seriously hurt. My family member (pro-soccer player) thought he was invincible and killed another innocent person because of his terrible decision to drink and drive. He is now serving time in prison and is sharing his story to prevent further tragedies from occurring. Search for the Matt Maher Story to be encouraged

    OMG! Conspiracy- I have thought the same thing since the whole "TomKat" thing started! The timing of the pregnancy and she(Suri)has his (Chris) eyes and forehead! What was Katie thinking?!!

    does this mean he doesn't' get to see Suri for fathers day then? :(

    Jon - This is his 3rd offense, he obviously has not and will not learn his lesson...

    I hate this kind of story. Putting other people at risk is not okay.

    Celebrities should really just get driven to parties....seriously...or take a cab...

  • June 16, 2010 - 11:44am TT

    Oh..what a shame. He is a good actor and seems genuinely nice. I hope this is just an isolated incident.

  • June 16, 2010 - 11:41am Lynn

    If he has two DUI's, he is screwed!!

  • June 16, 2010 - 11:39am Dee

    If he has two DUI's, he is f*ucked.

  • June 16, 2010 - 11:26am conspiracy

    Katie Holmes must be upset seeing Suri's bio-dad in trouble again!

  • June 16, 2010 - 11:11am Jon

    I like Chris Klein, and I hope he learns his lesson from this?
